I'm hearing a bit of the B-52's mixed with Peter Gabriel (Shock the Monkey). Def Devo and Gary Numan, as some others mentioned. This has a great 80s feel.
Now all you need is some Fitz and the Tantrums vocals to blend the old with the new:

I'm definitely marking this a fave!

Vocals: as Alien rightly told, add a de-esser. Then apply a 4:1 compression (to make the waveform uniform, in this way it avoids that the lower parts are not intelligible and that the higher ones are too strong). Last but not least, add an eq and soften the low-mid frequencies of the voice tone, otherwise, as it is, it still buries parts of the instrumental. After doing all this, you can adjust the overall volume.
Acoustics: still too weak. Enhance their brilliance. A tad more stereo field needs too.
Drumstuff: all at the right place but the snare. Volume still too low. If you can't do better with the one you used, add a "80's" one (if you need some samples, i got something :) ) then wide his stereo field and add a longer reverb.

Listening in headphones, I have the impression that Jenna is singing in front of me, while all the music is behind me!
This happens because, probably, you have not entered the compressions in the various patterns. In particular, like in Zombie, the bass seem to be missing, Jenna's voice dominates all the instrumental and the sound, in general, thickens everything in the central part of the stereo field.
My tips: everything that works as a pad is assigned to a wide stereo field, so that it seems to "embrace" the whole song. The bass line must be in mono, all the drumlines must have a more limited stereo field (you can, eventually, add on them a very light reverb or, better, use the parallel compression)
On the snare, especially, which is the most beautiful drumline sound here, you could use a different compression, widening the stereo field a bit and adding a stronger reverb.
Decrease the volume of Jenna's voice, which is already very consistent, so as not to bury the music, you can also create a volume envelopment so you can optimize the mix with the instruments in real time.
Try all this, then let me know!
